Chapter 654 [Clever arrangement]
Du Wei followed Karina back to her residence. Karina wiped away her tears and changed her clothes. After getting familiar with her dress, she came out to see Du Wei again. She treated Du Wei with respectful and formal etiquette.
Every move he made showed his respect for Du Wei.
Although Du Wei didn't care much about this, Karina's attitude this time was extremely serious: "Teacher, this is what my father told me before he was alive. Because from now on, you are no longer just my teacher. My father is no longer here."
, My brother is young. From now on, you are the biggest pillar of this empire!"
Du Wei looked at the solemn expression on the child's face and could only sigh.
After sitting down, Karina's personal officer Lan Lan personally brought tea. Du Wei and Lan Lan looked at each other and immediately avoided each other, while Lan Lan's eyes seemed vaguely embarrassed. This was Du Wei's night visit that day.
The first meeting between the two after the palace.
From now on, it seems that Lan Lan has kept her promise and has not revealed the secret. Even the little princess has been concealed by her.
Du Wei threw a look full of deep gratitude, but Lanlan lowered her head to avoid it and quickly retreated.
"Teacher." When there were only two people left in the room, Karina spoke. Her young face was full of worry: "I have been waiting for you day and night, and finally I have you back. Now this situation...
"
Du Wei immediately interrupted her: "There is nothing bad about the current situation." Du Wei said calmly: "The situation in the northern war situation is gradually improving and has stabilized. Although there is a national mourning within the empire, the foundation is still very solid.
Yes, no one took the opportunity to cause trouble. I think the situation in the imperial capital is quite stable..."
Karina seemed to curl her lips and glanced at Du Wei dissatisfied: "Teacher, when you taught me, you told me that everything should be taken precautions! You don't have to say such boring prevarications to me! Brother,
He... his father just passed away, and my brother started to behave a little bit randomly!"
Du Wei smiled and said warmly: "Charlie is young after all. He has just taken over the power. He is inevitably a little impatient and lacks some experience in handling things. This is also true..."
"Humph, but what about that high-ranking inspector? Does the teacher plan to let him seduce his brother's heart when he comes back this time?" Karina was a little anxious.
Du Wei spread his hands and smiled faintly: "Your Highness, I am now a foreign minister. Don't forget, I have no actual position in the imperial capital. I only served as the dean of the Imperial Military Academy. Other than that, I have no other posts.
There are other actual duties. My official title is now Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Front Theater. According to imperial practice, generals in command cannot interfere in the empire's national affairs."
Karina also frowned deeply, thinking of this: "Well, that's what I said, but brother, he should still be willing to listen to you."
After Du Wei heard this, he just sneered and said nothing. Karina was a little impatient because of his smile: "Teacher, did I say something wrong?"
Du Wei shook his head, but asked her: "Your Majesty, do you think the current His Majesty is still the same person as before?"
Sure enough, Karina was stunned for a moment and sighed dejectedly: "Yes, brother...he has changed a lot."
Du Wei then slowly said: "Young people are always a little rebellious. Now, if I go to accuse or advise him face to face, it will probably arouse his rebellious thoughts, and the effect will not be good. I always have to
It's just a matter of circumlocution. Huh, that high-ranking inspector is just doing what he wants, and it's not really a clever method."
After a pause, Du Wei looked at the worried little princess, feeling a little unbearable, and said softly: "Okay, Karina. Now that I'm back, I can't watch him do whatever he wants. Your father left me a message.
No matter what, I will save this country."
"So, what can you do?"
Du Wei thought for a while, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled coldly: "Humph, didn't I just say that the high-ranking police officer was just following his own interests, and his methods were not very clever. However, in the imperial capital,
The other prisons all looked at the strength of his family and were unwilling to provoke him. They were not really afraid of him! He suddenly jumped from a local governor to the position of deputy minister of state. Could it be that other people were just afraid of him?
Are you really not dissatisfied at all? It’s just that there is no one to take the lead now. Moreover, for the sake of Princess Delly and General Alpay’s power, everyone is unwilling to offend him easily, and no one is willing to be the leader.
It’s just a bird.”
With that said, Du Wei leaned down, hugged the little princess gently, touched her hair, and smiled softly: "Do you still remember what I taught you back then? Human psychology is always xenophobic.
.In a fixed circle, an outsider suddenly breaks into the circle. The original people in the circle may not be very happy in their hearts. Now that I am back, it seems that I am the only one who can play the role of the leader. These days, I
I will meet with the big guys in the imperial capital to find out what they mean... Humph, that high-ranking inspector won't be proud for long."
"Also, the woman next to my brother now." Karina frowned.
Du Wei couldn't help but have a headache. Everything else was easy to talk about, but he couldn't interfere in this woman's matter. After all, in terms of status, he was a minister and Charlie was the emperor. Even if the other party betrayed his face, he would respect him.
But there is no reason for me to interfere with what kind of woman the little emperor likes.
After coming out of Karina, Du Wei went to see the little emperor again.
The meeting with the little emperor was not as harmonious as with Karina. After all, the former master and apprentice have become monarchs and ministers. Although Charlie still showed enough respect for Du Wei, he was also vaguely suppressing Du Wei.
It seemed that he was taking out his anger because Du Wei didn't dump him some time ago.
But now Du Wei's temper was surprisingly good. In front of Charlie, he was calm and didn't say much else, letting the child perform. He didn't even mention a word about Gao Cha's appointment as Vice Minister of State in the imperial capital.
Many people made slight remarks, and Charlie was originally prepared, thinking that Du Wei would definitely talk to him about this matter when he came back. But he didn't expect that Du Wei didn't even mention it a word.
Du Wei only said some words of encouragement to Charlie to express his condolences and cheer up as soon as possible. He also gave a few words of encouragement and warned Charlie to be a wise king, and finally left quickly.
Even frontline military affairs were not reported to Charlie.
Charlie had been worried for a day, and had planned a lot of words to deal with Du Wei. He also knew that rashly promoting Gao Cha to Deputy Minister of State was a bit of a joke. It's just that when a young man takes power, he can't control himself.
It's like a person who suddenly makes a huge fortune but can't control his tendency to spend money randomly.
He originally thought that Du Wei would accuse him. After all, Charlie was still very afraid of the teacher's power.
But Du Wei actually didn't mention it, and the words he had originally prepared were not used. Although he was a little depressed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Du Wei quickly said goodbye and left. Then Du Wei did not leave the palace immediately, but went to the back to meet Princess Louise. Princess Louise looked a lot haggard. She and Prince Chen had a very good brother-sister relationship, and Chen
She was naturally very sad when the prince passed away. When Du Wei saw her, he only offered some words of comfort. However, he did not mention any serious matters of state affairs, and even took the initiative to talk about Hussein's outstanding performance on the front line. Only then did Du Wei
Princess Louise is in a slightly better mood.
By the time I finished meeting Princess Louise, it was already afternoon.
Du Wei didn't even eat lunch and stood at the door of the palace where Princess Louise lived. After thinking for a while, he was about to go home, but suddenly changed his mind.
He said to the palace attendants accompanying him: "I want to go to see Princess Delly, please lead the way."
The palace attendant was a little surprised. It seemed a bit inappropriate to meet the princess, and even if he wanted to meet the princess, he should meet the queen first.
But the person in front of him is no ordinary foreign minister, but the famous Tulip Duke. How dare he, a humble palace attendant, refuse? He can only lead the way.
Du Wei has not seen Princess Delly for a long time. Princess Delly has been living a very depressed life since she married into the royal family.
Originally, Prince Chen was not a lecherous person. He was very diligent in running the affairs of the country and spent most of his time in his study. When he had free time, he mostly spent it with his son and daughter.
Moreover, he and the queen were a couple in need, and they had a good relationship when he was a marginalized prince.
Therefore, although Princess Delly was very ambitious after marrying the Prince Regent, even though she wanted to compete for favor, she could only stay in the cold palace.
It is said that Prince Chen has spent the night at her place so many times in the past three years since she got married that he can even count them on two hands.
Unexpectedly, when Du Wei arrived at the door of the palace where Princess Delly lived, a palace maid blocked the door, saying that the princess was too sad and did not see the guests.
Even Du Wei's name was reported here. After the announcement, the reply was: The princess is in grief and cannot see the guests. Please ask Duke Tulip to go back.
Du Wei was not angry after hearing this. He stood at the door with his hands folded, looked at the sky, as if thinking for a while, and then looked at the palace maid with a smile. He knew that these palace maids who took care of Princess Delly would inevitably
They were all the confidants Delly brought with her when she got married.
"In this case, I won't take the liberty to ask for an interview." Du Wei looked at the palace lady in front of him with a smile. He could tell at a glance that the two seemingly inexperienced girls in front of him were actually very skilled.
Female Earth Warrior: "However, I have a few words to tell Her Royal Highness the Princess, uh, just say..."
Du Wei's smile seemed a little shy, and his voice was very soft: "Please tell the princess, just say, 'I know there is some unpleasantness between me and Your Highness, and I will pretend that other things in the past have not happened. But, last year,
That incident really disappointed me. Your Highness, you should know my temper. If I am unhappy, I might do something unpleasant.', Well, that's it.
Just a few words, please go in and convey your message now, I’ll stand here waiting for the princess’s reply.”
The palace maid looked at Du Wei with a surprised look on her face, thinking that this Tulip Duke was really brave, he actually dared to say such rude words to the princess?!
Du Wei was unfazed.
After a while, the palace maid inside ran all the way back and came to Du Wei. Her face was very ugly. She seemed to be a little panicked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to ask you...ask you..."
"Ask me what?" Du Wei smiled broadly.
The maid gritted her teeth and said, "His Royal Highness asked, 'Mr. Duke Tulip, how can I be happier?'"
Du Wei did not look at the face of the palace maid, but looked at the sky, and said leisurely: "Don't talk about things that shouldn't be said, don't reach out for things that shouldn't be done, ignore things that shouldn't be done... Well, that's all."
After a pause, he glanced at the palace maid coldly: "I still have something to do, so I won't wait here for the princess's reply. You just need to bring my words to the princess and tell her whether your highness will agree or not.
In her own thoughts, I hope she will think about it deeply. Okay, that's it. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he left in such a swaggering manner!
The palace attendant who was following Du Wei had been standing far away just now, not daring to get too close. Seeing Du Wei leave, he quickly followed him.
As Du Wei walked away, he said calmly: "Did you hear what I just said to the princess's maid?"
"Uh... no! I don't dare to eavesdrop!" The palace waiter quickly shook his head.
Du Wei continued to stride forward: "When you go back, His Majesty will definitely ask you who I met and what I said in the palace when you followed me today. It doesn't matter. Just tell the truth."
The waiter had a wry smile on his face: "Sir, I really didn't hear what you just said. I was standing so far away..."
Du Wei then stopped. He frowned and looked at this guy: "Just say what you say. Don't think I don't know. You are standing there, downwind, with your ears erect on purpose."
The waiter's face turned pale and he was about to kneel down, but Du Wei regained his smile and pulled him up. But he put a gold coin into his hand: "Listen to me. Tell the truth, a
To be continued...
